HUNTING THE SNARK. “Another avenue for hunting down IMBHs exists in off-center compact sources in large galaxies. The process of hierarchical merging results in the tidal disruption of low-mass galaxies as they enter larger halos. If those low-mass galaxies host IMBHs, the black holes will wander in the larger galaxy as they inspiral toward the center.” (IMBHs = intermediate mass black holes).
